Stealth Aircraft
The sharply angled sufaces of the F-117A stealth fighter, shown here in flight over the Persian Gulf in April 2003, help the plane elude detection by enemy radar. The F-117A is also equipped with electronic countermeasures to jam enemy radar, special paint that absorbs radar, and engine housings that mix cool air with the exhaust to decrease the plane's emission of infrared radiation.
